<br />CONTINENTAL DAM - 8 - July 11, 2013 <br />INUNDATION MAPPING REPORT <br />overtopped, and a few buildings located within the Rio Grande floodplain will be inundated. The <br />homes in Lasauses are not expected to be flooded. South of Lasauses the flood wave will be <br />contained by a very narrow and deep floodplain that is approximately the width of the Rio Grande <br />main channel itself. The modeling and the delineation of the inundation extents were terminated at <br />this point because the attenuated flow rate due to a clear-day breach of Continental Dam (3,200 cfs) <br />is significantly less than the computed 100-year flow rate (8,000 cfs). <br />
